Two Letters That Changed the Worldline

At the Prefect's Residence.

Cao Ming, the prefect who had always remained calm and composed in the past, now stood dumbstruck, every hair on his body standing on end.

He had never encountered such a situation! The patterns on a Life Jade should have been densely packed—how could they be so... so sparse as they were now?!

He stared fixedly at that still richly blood-red Life Jade. His heartbeat thundered in his ears like war drums, and his entire face had flushed crimson from the rushing blood.

Nineteen lines! Nineteen lines!

No matter how many times he counted, there were only nineteen patterns within the jade!!

Ye Li's Life Jade floated there in the air, yet the weight it carried was already enough to shake all thirty-six colossal provinces of the Great Sheng Dynasty.

Within the deathly silent tower, Cao Ming's entire body had gone numb. Only the countless belated cries of alarm outside the residence courtyard constantly reminded him—

"Damn it... how could I have let someone like this go back..." Cao
